Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC)

Norman Y Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) is a medium sized, multi-use airport located in the city of San Jose, California. While predominantly an air carrier airport, there is a sizable general and corporate aviation presence at the field. The airport is divided with air carrier facilities on the east side and general and corporate aviation on the west side of the runways. Transient parking is located at either of the two FBOs located on the west side of the airport. The west side taxiway system is complex and there are several parallel taxiways plus connectors that provide access into and out of transient parking. View a printable Pilot Handbook of the SJC information found on this Web page.
